MUSEUM COMMENT
We've checked with our Old Pharmaceutical Price and Product catalogs and such a medicine was indeed made by the G.F. HARVEY Co., and the ingredients as stated were standard ingredients in use at the time However, due to the size of the bottle one must assume that it was meant for farm animals; --- not human use. The fact that the bottle is a corker would indicate that it manufactured in the early 1910's or there about.
